A memorial is something that keeps remembrance alive, but this isn’t a memorial in the sense that you still are alive, in all of us, and you never left us. It’s hard to believe that your cheerful personality – which remained vibrant, active, and cheerful right till the very end – we won’t be able to physically appreciate. But you are a part of us and everything we do, and you’ll always remain with us.

You believed in living every moment as if it were your last. You loved life, and at the same time lived for others. It makes you so happy to see us happy! We’ve had such good times together, traveling everywhere together. And you’ve taught us so much. You were an exceptional father, an exceptional husband, an exceptional person. You will never, ever be forgotten, and will be remembered very very fondly. We’re missing you more than you can imagine.
